For the European rider who craves raw speed and wants a bike that ticks the Euro5+ box, the 2027 Ninja H2 arrives with a new power figure that does the math for you.
The 998cc inline‑four is still supercharged, but its impeller, intake, pistons and crankshaft got a facelift. The result is 209hp and 135Nm at 4,500rpm—a modest drop from the 228hp of the 2023 version but a cleaner, kinder exhaust‑system.
When you stack it against the 200hp Yamaha R1 or the 110hp Ducati Panigale V4, you see the Ninja sits in that sweet spot between a pure sport bike and a track‑only machine, offering more punch than the V4 while keeping the R1’s raw feel.
Brembo Hypure four‑piston front calipers replace the older unit, and the Rideology app now feeds you real‑time data. Add an Ohlins electronic steering damper, quickshifter and cornering management, and you have a cockpit that feels like a race‑car on a street.
The standard model’s price is €28,600 in the UK, while the Carbon variant comes in at €31,350. Both sit around 238kg, and the bike’s twin‑exhaust has been swapped for a single‑exhaust to trim costs.
The bike hits UK showrooms on 15th September 2027, and Kawasaki hasn’t announced any Indian launch yet. Keep your eyes on Kawasaki India’s press releases; if the Euro5+ compliance holds, the price could be similar, but that remains a question.
